Speech and Debate State and National Qualifiers Announced

We recently received word that we now have 16 students who have qualified for states along with two alternates. The state tournament will be held the first weekend in March in Wooster, Ohio. Additionally, four of our state qualifiers have also qualified for the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) nationals, which will be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico in June. Two have qualified as alternates and another two are alternate qualifiers to the National Student Congress. Learn more about the different speech and debate categories.
